Carbon Monoxide
If you think there may be a gas leak:
Leave the home or area immediately.
Do NOT use switches, appliances, phones, vehicles, lighters, or matches.
Do NOT use switches, appliances, phones, vehicles, lighters, or matches.
Do NOT assume it’s already been reported. Always call the SaskEnergy Emergency Line at 1-888-700-0427 and update the CFN Department of Housing.
Nose: Natural gas is naturally odourless, but utility companies often add scents (such as the smell of rotten eggs, sewer, or skunk) to help detect leaks.
Eyes: You can’t see natural gas, but watch for vapour, ground frost, dead vegetation, bubbling water, or blowing dust.
Ears: A hissing or roaring sound may signal a leak.
